GCSE MARKING SCHEME

SUMMER 2017 DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY - TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY 4131/01

© WJEC CBAC Ltd.

INTRODUCTION This marking scheme was used by WJEC for the 2017 examination. It was finalised after detailed discussion at examiners' conferences by all the examiners involved in the assessment. The conference was held shortly after the paper was taken so that reference could be made to the full range of candidates' responses, with photocopied scripts forming the basis of discussion. The aim of the conference was to ensure that the marking scheme was interpreted and applied in the same way by all examiners. It is hoped that this information will be of assistance to centres but it is recognised at the same time that, without the benefit of participation in the examiners' conference, teachers may have different views on certain matters of detail or interpretation. WJEC regrets that it cannot enter into any discussion or correspondence about this marking scheme.

(b) (i) No answer or an incorrect answer. Answers that indicate an understanding of natural versus manmade fibres can be awarded up to 3 marks based on: The sock is made from wool which is a natural fibre and as such will decompose relatively quickly whereas the bag is a manmade fibre – nylon. Manmade fibres do not biodegrade quickly because of the chemical elements in the fibres. A simple one mark answer: The sock is natural the bag is manmade. A more developed response for 2 marks: The sock is made from wool which is a natural fibre which will decompose quite quickly whereas manmade nylon will not. A fully developed response for 3 marks: The sock is made from wool which is a natural fibre which will decompose quite quickly whereas nylon is manmade.

(ii) No answer or an incorrect answer. Answers that indicate an understanding of globalisation but more importantly the environmental impact/carbon footprint can be awarded up to 4 marks based on: China’s manufacturing capability; cheap workforce; raw materials shipped to China; carbon footprint of raw materials; shipping either by sea or air of finished products adds to the carbon footprint of product. Transportation causes pollution/ impact on environment/global warming/air pollution/air quality and impact on people or animals etc A basic one mark answer: Shipping finished products across the globe causes pollution from the mode of transport. A more developed response for 2 marks: Shipping finished products across the globe causes pollution because the distance a product travels increases its carbon footprint. A detailed response for 3 marks: Shipping finished products across the globe causes pollution and the distance a product travels increases its carbon footprint. This practice adds to global warning. A fully developed response with detail for 4 marks: Shipping raw materials to China and also shipping finished products elsewhere all add to the carbon footprint of each product. Pollution caused by this practice has a negative impact on the environment which has contributed and continues to add to global warming and poorer air quality in many countries.
